Very interesting thoughts and a great read. I agree that we will get more and more dependent on AI as long as the benefits of this codependency outweigh the cons.

Thanks. Yes. I’m torn on this. In the short term very exciting. Long term - frightening.

Have you watched her or ex machina? I just saw them in the past month and they are definitely timely watches.

I think trying AI to mythology is a useful mental model to explore the risk of blindly pursuing AGI. Any good Norse myths for this?

You're reading my mind...I'm thinking of a piece on this topic.

on a related note,

would you be interested in collaborating on a substack piece exploring a few myths that can be applied to the generative AI space?

I would like to build on these two great podcasts I listened to in the past month.

I would like to explore this subject by using east Asian myths (Buddhist, Daoist, and Indian mythology). I think Norse mythology could provide some great insight here as well.
